timing cover swap

[bbfstanger]

does the timing covers interchange between a romeo and Windsor 4.6? bolt holes line up etc.
I need a 4.6 for my 03 f150 and they are hard to find reasonable money but can get a crown vic engine.

Looking at Vatozone, the gasket numbers appear to be different. I compared 2003 F150, with 2003 CV and part numbers are different. Mustang numbers are the same, though.

They will bolt up, but you might have to modify it somewhat. I have windsor heads on my Romeo block & timing cover. Off my head the only thing I remember I needed was different bolts for the timing cover so not sure if the windsors bolt holes are smaller or just the bolts. Also the tensioner may be different

[bbfstanger]

yes the tensioners and idlers are in diff spots that's why I was wanting to swap covers.
I have them both so I guess ill pull them both off and check.
I bought an engine 01 mustang and it has a spun rod,atleast I didn't have to pay much lol!
is it worth anything for a head swap? pi heads and intake.

[chris91]

PI heads go for like 2-250, PI intake sells for 1-150.

[bbfstanger]

id sell the whole engine for $250

[bbfstanger]

got a engine out of a 04 c/vic and it had the same size bolt holes on the cover. nice!

the front covers are interchangeable.
